Serious error: not enough storage space !?

This error message has appeared regularly now for about two weeks. After this is displayed, we're not able to save our changes anymore before we close a larger assembly or so.
There is sufficient free diskspace on my local disks as well as on the network, filename and path are not longer than allowed by both windows or novell.
Why is this occuring and what can we do?
See images in CF (hopefully you can see them, as at the moment i don't...)

Sys: P4 @ 3 gHz, WinXP SP1, AIS 7 sp1, novell network 100 mbit.
By the way: the 3 Gb switch is not working on my station, on my colleagues system, which is identical, it is. Why is that??

Unfortunately the images haven't come through, but it sounds like your Undo file is filling up.

Tools -> Application Options and in the top LH corner of the first tab you will see Undo File Size. This should always be set to
1000MB (not the default 256)

Thanx John,

Will try with a bigger undo-file size.
Also did a retry on the images.
Now it's showing an attachement, but it still didn't work ('no attachement')?

Undo filesize was set to 1000 Mb, but cannot be set any bigger (!?). Now what?

OK I can see the screen dump now, I've seen this error before on Inventor 5.3 on a very large model (Mastenbroek 6035), and it was
really wierd. There were a number of issues that had to be worked around, one of them being too many constraints and individual
components at the top level of the assembly. Putting more RAM in eased the problem, but the ceiling was still there. Now, I
thought this was fixed, but you've just brought it up again so I guess it isn't.

Try turning the visibility off for components/subs that you are not working on directly (save the iterations as DesignViews). Try
moving the top level assembly and the components you are working on, change the project file so that the other components are
"hidden" from Inventor, do your work then move them back. If you get /3GB working does that alleviate the problem at all?

Can't be more specific, it needs some "playing" with to get it to work.
